If mine doesn't, I too would be gutted. I'm sure there's a ton of options to optimise performance etc, and 2008 does run really smooth on my pc (with occasional massive drops in frame-rate in Marseilles, Hamburg and Rotterdam), so fingers crossed it won't be too bad in that sense. I like my games looking their best, and find it hard to accept less. :)

You could always re-programme your PC with a mallet and then go buy another one!

I suspect, only suspect mind you, that if your computer runs SS 2008 well then it will run SSExtremes too. However do not take that as gospel, I only suspect this to be so. ::)

I think the technical procedure is to kick it with large boots, hence the term "rebooting your system"... ;D

If it is that literal, I now have an image of PCs racing up and down the road, bumping into things. "Computer crash".  :evil:

I very much suspect that some of the lower-spec PCs that currently can just about run Ship Simulator may not be able to run SS Extremes. That seems almost inevitable.

But nothing is certain yet, so don't go rushing out and upgrading your PC yet (although if it struggles with SS2008, maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea anyway?).

an interesting point. remember that windoze (sic) seven is less memory/processor intensive, so upgrading OS might help- cheaper than buying another pc

Yup guys - I will wait and see what the specifications say when SS Extremes comes out.

In my case it may involve a CPU upgrade, if my motherboard allow this. Mine is Intel Core 2 E6400 @ 2.14 Ghz, which just barely meet the 2.4Ghz minimum requirement to run SS2008. :doh: (it is my understanding that Questviewer can only 'see' one processor, is this right?)

It it comes to a point where I will have to upgrade my CPU, I wouldn't be put off by this; not since we now have a Dover to Calais enviroment in SS Extremes!  ;D

When do you think the specs for SSE will come out? Could we know before the game comes out?

A *guess* here is a few weeks, maybe a month before... I KNOW that normally my guesses are nearly always 100% perfect, but on this occasion I don't know for certain.

Perhaps for "Free SR.N4 hovercraft (for Dover-Calais in the same environment) in the Shipyard campaign" ?

Go for that, Stu!

I don't think they will go with the free idea, but certainly SR-N4 is suitable for SSE

1. It adds diversity: SR-N4s are the largest surviving commercial hovercraft in the world, and they have been an icon for many years
2. There is a cause to support: The Hovercraft Museum has the last two SR-N4s in the world, and they are at risk of being bought out by private owners
3. They promote the Hovercraft Museum: That can be no bad thing, especially as at the Hovershow there will probably be lots of potential Vstep customers...

4. it does go nicely with the Dover-Calais environment...
